With less than a month left before the 2025-2026 training camp begins, LeBron James’ future in the NBA is still unclear. There’s been no confirmation yet about whether he will remain with the LA Lakers or jump ship. Amidst the uncertainty, reports regarding his potential retirement following the upcoming season have taken the basketball world by storm.
Former NBA champion Paul Pierce recently shared his thoughts on the situation. He said he believes this upcoming season will be James’ final run before hanging up his boots. While Pierce made sure to acknowledge James’ illustrious career, he seemed confident that “LBJ” would not return for a 24th season.
“I think this will be his last season,” Pierce said via Full Court Pass. “You know, I think he’s played 21, 22 years. He’s been the GOAT for so long. He’s maintained the stats. We appreciate what he brought to the game and how he’s held the mantle since (Michael) Jordan left. Bron is one of them ones. We appreciate him. But I think his time is up. But we appreciate what he’s done for the league.”
